Academic Shoot

I followed the composition rules of balance and framing. The waterspouts balance the picture and frame the subject, the girl. Its very clear what the subject is, since she is framed and is in the very center of the picture.

I followed the composition rules of line in this picture with the diagonal lines of the chair and the curved water spout. The subject is less clear however, because of the water spout, because it blocks the actual subject, the girl. Next time, I could take the picture from the opposite side of her.

The rules of composition that I followed in this picture is rules of thirds. The subject is in the left upper half, and the subject is the boy reading. It's clear to see this, because there aren't other sources that draw your attention from him.

The rule of composition that I followed in this picture are rule of thirds and line. The subject is the boy and it's harder to tell however with the spout obstructing the view of him and becoming the foreground.

    I like how you created a frame in the first picture with the water spouts

    You're photos are very well done, you've got a good eye and a creative mind for capturing unique pictures in such a dull setting!

    Kate, I really like your images. I really appreciate your efforts with the camera. You are thinking about the composition rules and it is clear you are also considering your subjects. The top first photo is really well done, perhaps one of the best single images in the class. Good work. The other two are okay. The middle one is pretty standard, and I like the third one, I just wish he was on the other side and room to look off the photo, meaning he was in the wrong rule of thirds, but still not a bed set of photos.

HDR Preview

1. What manipulations to the camera will you need to make to create an HDR image? You need to take several pictures both above and below the correct exposure. 2. What equipment will we use to take this type of image? We will be using a tripod and a DSLR camera 3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR image? So that we can accurately capture the lights and darks in an image, making it similar to what the eye can see. 4. What can we expect to happen with the images once we merge them together, what will we see that we might not have seen with just one photo? We will see the different levels of light and dark, being able to make out things that we wouldn't have been able to with just a singular picture.
